Both converters are two rack spaces high and are housed in a stainless steel chassis with machined, heavy aluminum front panels. The AM713 converts incoming analog signals to 24-bit MADI digital signals that capture the input’s complete dynamic range. In addition to the 24 XLR connectors for the analog inputs, there are two auxiliary analog inputs (XLR) and two auxiliary digital inputs (S/PDIF or AES/EBU); only one digital connector can be used at a time. The MA703 converts incoming MADI signals to 24 analog channels. In addition to the 24 analog outputs, there are also two auxiliary analog outputs (XLR) and two auxiliary digital outputs (S/PDIF or AES/EBU). Only one digital connector can be used at a time. 1.2 DM714/MD704 The DM714 and MD704 converters provide MADI conversion to interface to/from digital (AES/EBU) equipment such as digital multi-track recorders, digital audio workstations, audio routers, and facility patching systems. Both converters are two rack spaces high and are housed in a stainless steel chassis with machined, heavy aluminum front panels. The DM714 converts incoming AES/EBU digital audio to MADI. In addition to the 24 input channels (12 AES/EBU pairs), there are two auxiliary analog inputs (XLR) and two auxiliary digital inputs (S/PDIF or AES/EBU); only one auxiliary digital connector can be used at a time. Each main AES/EBU input is automatically evaluated for samplerate conversion. The incoming sample rate is compared with the internal rate. If they are the same, no conversion occurs. If the rates differ, sample-rate conversion is activated and persists until a new input is applied or the internal sample rate changes. The samplerate conversion range is 32–56 kHz. Sample-rate conversion reduces a 24-bit signal to 20 bits. The MD704 converts incoming MADI signals to 24 digital output channels (12 AES/ EBU pairs). In addition to the 24 analog outputs, there are also two auxiliary analog outputs (XLR) and two auxiliary digital outputs (S/PDIF or AES/EBU). The main 24 outputs can be bit-depth converted from 24 to 20 or 16 bits. 5 Euphonix MADI Converters Operation Manual 1.3 Introduction Power On Sequence We recommend powering up the converters only after verifying the presence of a valid sync signal. After powering up the converters, the meter LEDs flash briefly and the Sample Rate and Sample Rate Source LEDs blink as the converter senses the incoming Sample Rate source and Sample Rate. We recommend monitoring the power-up sequence to verify the converters have correctly auto-sensed the desired Sample Rate Source and Sample Rate. 1.4 Safety and Precautions The AM713, MA703, MD704 and DM714 comply with CE’s EN 60950 Electrical Safety Standards. 1.4.1 220, 230, 240 VAC Operation NOTE: Before connecting power to the converters, change the fuse and voltage selector to the appropriate 220/230/240 VAC settings. The converters preserve their signal quality using linear power supplies that must be manually switched between 115 and 230 VAC. The units are shipped set for 115 VAC. Move the red, two-position switch near the power entry module of the converters to the 230 VAC position (down) for 220/230/240 VAC operation. Each unit uses a 0.630 A fuse for 115 VAC operation. To operate at 220, 230, or 240 VAC, install the spare 0.315 A fuse provided in the power entry module fuse-holder. To access both the active and the spare fuse: 1. Turn the unit’s power off. 2. Remove the IEC power cable from the power entry module. 3. Use a small screwdriver to open the fuse tray below the electrical inlet. The active fuse is to the rear of the tray. The spare fuse is in the tray slot closest to the front. Pull the fuses through the plastic constriction point that holds them from falling out. NOTE: Never disconnect the safety ground to the converters. 6 Euphonix MADI Converters Operation Manual Introduction Power Cord Requirements The converters are supplied with North American IEC power cords. If this cord is changed to allow a different plug configuration, it is the responsibility of the user to select an approved power cord with proper construction material, current capacity, flexibility, and strength characteristics. Cooling We strongly recommend providing adequate ventilation to the converters, particularly when installed in a rack. The AM713 and MA703 converters in particular should have space left above and below every two units so heat can properly dissipate. 7 Euphonix MADI Converters Operation Manual Introduction 8 Euphonix MADI Converters Operation Manual Chapter 2: AM713 and MA703 Converters 2.1 Features Professional grade audio conversion is accomplished utilizing 128 times over-sampled noise-shaped delta-sigma techniques. The analog to digital conversion employs a multi-bit modular architecture while the digital to analog conversion employs a single-bit modulator architecture. Low-jitter reference clocks are provided utilizing digital PLL techniques with VCXO and VCO oscillators. The analog inputs and outputs can be calibrated from the front panel of each unit. Four segment LEDs on the front panel monitor signal level. LED meter segments indicate -42, -18, -6 (green) and -0.005 dBFS (red). AES/EBU and Word Clock external sync inputs on both units provide synchronization to digital systems. Sample Rate Source and Sample Rate are automatically sensed by both units. Supported sample rates include 44.1, 48, 88.2, and 96 kHz. In addition, pull-up and pull-down rates for the standard sample rates, as well as custom sample rates are available. 2.2 Applications In addition to their standard use in a Euphonix digital system, the AM713 and MA703 can be used as stand-alone converters when 24, 48, or more channels of analog-toMADI and/or MADI-to-analog conversion is necessary (i.e., interfacing an analog tape deck to a digital mixer). When used with the Euphonix SH612 Studio Hub, this is a powerful conversion and MADI routing system that can be used to interface between an analog console and an otherwise all-digital facility (i.e., TV broadcast facility). NOTE: MADI cables can be extended to 50 m (164 ft), allowing remote location of the converters. 9 Euphonix MADI Converters Operation Manual 2.3 AM713 and MA703 Converters AM713/MA703 Front Panel This section discusses both front panels and notes their few differences. Figure 2-1 AM713 Front Panel Signal Strength LEDs: Each of the 28 channels has a four-segment LED that represents the following signal levels: -42 dB, -18 dB, -6 dB (green), -0.05 dB (red). Trim Pots Access: Three trim pots adjust the maximum analog input level of channels 1–8, 9–16, and 17–24 in 2-dB steps between +12 and +26 dBu. SR Conv: This indicates sample-rate conversion activity on the auxiliary digital inputs. Sample Rate LEDs: These LEDs indicate the sample rate to which the converter is currently locked. Sample rates are auto-sensed but can be manually selected on the AM713. Supported sample rates are 96 kHz, 88.2 kHz, 48 kHz, 44.1 kHz, and Custom rates from external sources. Sample Rate Source LEDs: These LEDs indicate the format of the Sample Rate Source to which the converter is currently locked. Sample Rate Source can be autosensed or manually selected. If an external source is not detected, the AM713 reverts to Internal sync; the MA703 mutes its outputs. If a manually selected source is not present, the Sample Rate Source indicator blinks. • AES: Sample Rate locked to AES Input. • Word: Sample Rate locked to Word Clock Input. • Internal (AM713 only): Sample Rate locked to its own internal crystal. • MADI (MA703 only): Sample Rate locked to MADI. • Auto: Sample Rate Source has been auto-sensed. These LEDs appear in the same order in which signals are tested for their presence. This detection procedure occurs when the converters are powered on. The Sample Rate (AM713 only) and Sample Rate Source can also be selected manually. 10 Euphonix MADI Converters Operation Manual AM713 and MA703 Converters Manual Selection Buttons: The button below each Sample Rate LED row manually selects the sample rate. The AM713 also allows manual selection of the Sample Rate Source. Power Switch: On/Off switch. NOTE: There are no user-serviceable parts in the converters. 11 Euphonix MADI Converters Operation Manual 2.4 AM713 and MA703 Converters AM713 Rear Panel Figure 2-2 AM713 Rear Panel Input Voltage Selector: This red switch allows the unit to operate in either 110/115 VAC or 220/230/240 VAC environments.

In the presence of an external Word clock input, this connector provides a regenerated version of that input signal. Without an external sample rate source, this connector outputs the internally generated clock signal. 12 Euphonix MADI Converters Operation Manual AM713 and MA703 Converters MADI Out (BNC): Outputs the digital audio signal. • 1–24: Analog inputs • 25–26: Aux analog inputs • 27–28: Aux digital inputs NOTE: 28 channels are always transmitted; dual channels are not used. 13 Euphonix MADI Converters Operation Manual 2.5 AM713 and MA703 Converters MA703 Rear Panel Figure 2-3 MA703 Rear Panel Input Voltage Selector: This red switch sets the unit to either 110/115 VAC or 220/ 230/240 VAC environments. A fuse must also be changed for 220/230/240 VAC operation (see page 6). Units are shipped set and fused for 110/115 VAC. Power Connector (IEC) and Fuse Tray: The IEC power connector accepts standard IEC power cords. The fuse tray contains both the active and spare fuses.

The Sample Rate Source is determined automatically by the presence of signals when the AM713 is powered on. The order in which external signals are tested for presence is: AES, Word, Internal. The detected signal immediately becomes the source for the AM713’s sample rate clock. The auto-sensed Sample Rate Source can be overridden using the button on the front panel of the AM713, below the Sample Rate Source LEDs. If neither AES nor Word Clock signals are present, the AM713 uses its internal clock driven by crystals. The default internal Sample Rate of the AM713 is 48 kHz. This default internal rate can be overridden with the Sample Rate button on the front panel of the AM713 (directly below the Sample Rate LEDs) to 44.1, 48 or 96 kHz. 2.6.2 MA703 The MA703 detects Sample Rate and Sample Rate Source like the AM713 with the following differences: • Since the MA703 is always a slave to an external Sample Rate Source, there is no internal Sample Rate Source setting. • The MA703 can use MADI in addition to AES or Word Clock as a Sample Rate Source, and detects the presence of these signals in the following order: AES, Word, MADI. When a signal is detected, it immediately becomes the sample rate clock of the MA703. The auto-sensed Sample Rate Source can be overridden with the Sample Rate Source button on the front panel of the MA703, below the Sample Rate Source LEDs. 16 Euphonix MADI Converters Operation Manual 2.7 AM713 and MA703 Converters Specifications AM713 Performance Specifications Sync Sources AES, word clock, internal Sync Outputs AES thru and word clock out Sync Detection Auto or switched Internal Sample Rate 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96 kHz ±50 ppm Lock range fine mode custom mode Audio Inputs ±300 ppm ±12% varispeed of 44.1 and 48 kHz Above 50 kHz, varispeed can adjust the nominal sample rate by -12 to +5% 24 analog, 4 aux channels (2 analog, 2 digital) Main Inputs (1–24) Electronically balanced XLR; 20 kΩ input impedance Level for 0 dBFS Signal-to-Noise Ratio THD Frequency Response (1 kHz @ +4 dBu) CMRR Crosstalk Group Delay Adjustable between +12 and +26 dBu in 2-dB steps 105 dB (unweighted) 0.0005% ±0.25 dB 20 Hz – 20 kHz @ 48 kHz -2.5 dB 20 Hz – 40 kHz @ 96 kHz >50 dB 20 Hz – 20 kHz ≥ -110 dB @ 1 kHz ≥ -100dB 20 Hz – 20 kHz 41.7/Fs (869 µs @ 48 kHz) Aux Digital Inputs (D1/2) AES (XLR), transformer isolated, 110 Ω S/PDIF (RCA), 75 Ω Aux Analog Inputs (A1/2) same as main inputs MADI Output BNC 75 Ω 28 channels at all sample rates Inputs mapped to channels 1–24, A1/2 to 25/26, D1/2 to 27/28 24-bit signal path 17 MA703 Performance Specifications Sync Sources AES, word clock, MADI Sync Outputs AES thru and word clock out Sync Detection Auto or switched Internal Sample Rate 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96 kHz ±50 ppm Lock range fine mode custom mode ±300 ppm ±12% varispeed of 44.1 and 48 kHz Above 50 kHz, varispeed can adjust the nominal sample rate by -12 to +5% MADI Input BNC 75 Ω 44.1/48 kHz: 56 channels 88.2/96 kHz: 28 channels.

Sample Rate Source and Sample Rate are automatically sensed by both units. Supported sample rates include 44.1, 48, 88.2, and 96 kHz. In addition, pull-up and pull-down rates for the standard sample rates, as well as custom sample rates are available. Four-segment front panel LEDs monitor the input/output signal strength. LED meter segments indicate -42, -18, -6 (green) and -0.005 dBFS (red). The analog inputs and outputs can be calibrated from the front panel of each unit. 3.2 Applications The DM714 and MD704 can be used as 24-channel digital interfaces in a Euphonix digital system or other situations requiring digital to MADI conversion. These devices allow recording or transferring to/from digital devices that are not compatible with MADI but have an AES/EBU interface. NOTE: MADI cables can be extended to 50 m (164 ft), allowing remote location of the converters. 21 Euphonix MADI Converters Operation Manual 3.3 DM714 and MD704 Converters DM 714/MD704 Front Panel This section discusses both front panels and notes their few differences. Figure 3-1 DM714 Front Panel Signal Strength LEDs: Each of the 28 channels has a four-segment LED that represents the following signal levels: -42 dB, -18 dB, -6 dB (green), -.05 dB (red). Trim Pot: A trim pot adjusts the analog output level of channels A1 and A2 between +12 and +26 dBu in 2-dB steps. SR Conv: The sample rate of all digital inputs is automatically detected and, if asynchronous, converted to the system Sample Rate. This process is independently applied to each stereo pair such that a combination of synchronous and asynchronous signals can be connected to the DM714. Sample-rate conversion is switched off when synchronous signals are detected. The range of sample-rate conversion is 32–56 kHz. 88.2 or 96 kHz signals cannot be sample-rate converted and are passed through if synchronous. If non-synchronous 88.2 or 96 kHz signals are detected, the upper signal strength LED flashes red to warn the user that the sample rate for those channels is not in sync with the system settings. Sample-rate conversion reduces the bit depth in a 24-bit signal to 20 bits. Sample Rate LEDs: These LEDs indicate the Sample Rate to which the converter is currently locked. Sample Rates are auto-sensed but can be manually selected on the DM714. Supported Sample Rates are 96 kHz, 88.2 kHz, 48 kHz, 44.1 kHz and Custom Rates from external sources. Sample Rate Source LEDs: These LEDs indicate the format of the Sample Rate Source to which the converter is currently locked. Sample Rate Source can be autosensed or manually selected. If an external source is not detected, the DM714 reverts to Internal sync; the MD704 mutes its outputs. If a manually selected source is not present, the Sample Rate Source indicator blinks. 22 Euphonix MADI Converters Operation Manual DM714 and MD704 Converters • AES: Sample Rate locked to AES Input. • Word: Sample Rate locked to Word Clock Input. • Internal (DM714 only): Sample Rate locked to its own internal crystal. • MADI (MD704 only): Sample Rate locked to MADI. • Auto: Sample Rate Source has been auto-sensed.

The Sample Rate (DM714 only) and Sample Rate Source can also be selected manually. Manual Selection Buttons: The button below each Sample Rate LED row manually selects the Sample Rate Source. The DM714 also allows manual selection of the Sample Rate. Power Switch: On/Off switch.

This default internal rate can be overridden with the Sample Rate button on the front panel of the DM714 (directly below the Sample Rate LEDs) to 44.1, 48 or 96 kHz. 3.6.2 MD704 The MD704 detects Sample Rate and Sample Rate Source like the DM714 with the following two differences: • Since the MD704 is always a slave to an external Sample Rate Source, there is no internal Sample Rate setting. • The MD704 can use MADI in addition to AES or Word Clock as a Sample Rate Source, and detects the presence of these signals in the following order: AES, Word, MADI. When a signal is detected, it immediately becomes the sample rate clock of the MD704. The auto-sensed Sample Rate Source can be overridden with the Sample Rate Source button on the front panel of the MD704, below the Sample Rate Source LEDs. NOTE: The converters occasionally do not lock to a 96 kHz AES Sync signal. This condition can normally be remedied by cycling the converter’s power, disconnecting and reconnecting the AES Sync signal, or using Word Clock. 28 Euphonix MADI Converters Operation Manual 3.7 DM714 and MD704 Converters Specifications DM714 Performance Specifications Sync Sources AES, word clock, internal Sync Outputs AES thru and word clock out Sync Detection Auto or switched Internal Sample Rate 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96 kHz ±50 ppm Lock range fine mode custom mode Audio Inputs ±300 ppm ±12% varispeed of 44.1 and 48 kHz 24 analog, 4 aux channels (2 analog, 2 digital) Main Inputs (1–24) XLR, transformer isolated, 110 Ω, 24-bit Sample-rate conversion automatically applied to non-synchronous 44.1 or 48 kHz inputs with reduction to 20 bits (88.2 or 96 kHz not yet supported).
